Hello crafters! I started by covering a piece of white card with
Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles. I spritzed them with water to activate the powder and used a paintbrush to help cover the entire card. Once dry, I cut the
Layered Snowflake Background into it. I cut the snowflake in white and added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam. I added a thin white frame around it using the
Double Stitched Squares. I cut a larger piece of white card covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and laid down multiples of the centre snowflake all cut in white to give texture to the background. I burnished them into the adhesive sheet, then sprinkled
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to fill in the remaining exposed adhesive areas. I added the square frame to the centre. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimenions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. all for now, Sue x

Hi Sue I love how you make a background with dies, who said you need embossing folders? I don't have enough of those big boys but you show so many alternatives and I love how it looks.
There is nothing to dislike about todays inspiration in fact it's a beautiful CAS card with a smile enclosed.
Love to all that visit and to our regular friends that we've not seen for a while. Stay safe and well xxx
Morning Sue.
A beautiful card thank you, it shows there are more than one way to use a die.
Take care and have fun Kitty

Good morning Sue and all.
I was up so late today just when I should have been early as I have a friend coming for a visit while it's still allowed.
I love todays card and all it's ramifications. I do believe that you could 'Make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear'
Have a goood day.

Hi Sue
A beautiful clean and simple card, love the colour of the teal pixie sparkle and I’ve used your tip about using a brush to move the colour over the card.
Love and hugs to everyone

Missed the last couple of days and both are gorgeous, but this post is fab in its apparent simplicity. Love it...
Hi Sue. I particularly love this snowflake and, as I am sure everybody knows by now, I do like to use snowflakes on my Christmas cards. This one is just the right size to make a statement on it's own.

I don't have this particular snowflake but I'm sure one of your others may be a good substitute. WakeyL
